You can now get glass with a solar reflective film, helps stop you home from being like a greenhouse. We will be getting it when we upgrade our windows. You can also get the film to add to existing windows.

I installed that (mirror type) on some windows at Melbourne House, where staff privacy was requested.

It was requested for privacy - there was no way I could begin to estimate its effect on solar gain (open plan area - not applied to all windows )

I just love the British obsession with the weather. Too hot, too cold, always raining. Part of our identity /idiosincracy. Long live with the British eccentricity.

With the increase in meds I'm taking at the moment, the real stuff would be a tad silly

John, I really feel for you, normally I hate the heat but at the moment I am enjoying it. Perhaps because I am just bouncing back from the infection that put me in hospital recently, perhaps because I have very little to do apart from shout at Richard when his cooking goes wrong, perhaps because my room is nice and cool and doesn't catch the sun. Whatever, I'm embracing it and hoping to have some nice days out for the first time in probably about a year, having stayed at home mostly when I was having chemotherapy to avoid catching anything when my immune system was compromised. The infection I did have would have happened anyway whether I was out and about or not so I am just trying to carry on as normal now.

I hope you can bear it over the next few days.

Re: Heatwave

Yesterday, even using aircon, I didn't get the temp below 25C.
Today I have managed to reduce it to 24C.
